As the foundation’s new prexy, Bedwell will direct and guide the leadership program which will launch its 47th class this fall.
“My focus and passion will be to take what I have learned at CFFA to further enhance a premier leadership development program that I believe is imperative to the successful future of California agriculture,” Bedwell said.
“I have had the opportunity to work with production agriculture to observe and participate firsthand in the multitude of challenges that confront California farmers,” he said. “I hope to use that knowledge to assist in developing even more effective leaders in the years ahead from this already very impressive program.”
Bedwell has led the fresh fruit group since 2003. Two years ago the organization changed its name from the California Grape and Tree Fruit League to the California Fresh Fruit Association.
The agricultural leader graduated from Fresno State with a degree in business administration in 1974.
